Neutron scattering textbook, exercises, and simulations of experiments are now available online and for free at e-neutrons.org.

We are happy to officially announce the availability of e-neutrons.org, an e-learning platform for neutron scattering.

The platform was developed with support from NMI3-II and features an introductory course in neutron scattering and muon spin spectroscopy. The courses contain a varied selection of interactive learning material using three main technologies:

A WIKIbook built on Mediawiki with various extensions, e.g. for producing mathematical expressions. It is used as the main source of textbook-material

A Learning Management System (LMS) built on Moodle which, provides exercises, quizzes and evaluation

The platform will be further developed and the learning material expanded in connection with the SINE2020.

To access the e-learning portal go to https://www.e-neutrons.org, choose “Get an account” and fill in your personal information. We hope that you will enjoy this new resource and encourage you to try it out!

Funding

The main funding for the project is provided by the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under the NMI3-II Grant number 283883 and from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654000.

We are also grateful for the financial support recieved from the University of Copenhagen via the “Good Education” and “Education 2016″ programmes and from Interreg IV via the ÖMIC programme.
